Ferrari and Colnago Release CFXX Limited Edition Bike

Colnago announcement: "Extending a collaboration that has existed for many years, Colnago have teamed up with legendary Italian car manufacturer Ferrari to produce the limited edition CFXX Fulcrum. The CFXX is everything you would expect from these two iconic Italian brands, matching stylish looks with state-of-the-art innovation.

This carbon fiber beauty draws on Formula 1 expertise and 3PRS technology to boost frame’s rigidity while keeping the weight down to just 6kg. Shimano’s Dura-Ace Di2 electronic groupset and Fulcrum’s Racing Speed XLR wheels add to the extra-special look and feel of the CFXX.

To make the CFXX that bit more special, Colnago and Ferrari are limiting the series to just 50 models. These are available only through the store on the Ferrari website at a cost of €12,500 ($16,700).

For that equally impressive price, each purchaser will get a bike that has undergone the ultimate personalization process, ensuring they have the perfect ride on what is sure to be the most eye-catching bike of the year.
